ness, the ignorance, the loss of proper
ty, and even the loss of life that is en-
dured in the world is to be directly
traced to the hurry aud drive which
characterize 20 much of the labor per-
formed.
Many persons not only drift into
these hurried ways but pride them
selves upon them. They boast of their
speed, and contrast it with the slower
measures of their more deliberate
neighbors. They fatter themselves
upon their dispatch, and hold them
selves of more value on that account.
Slowness in work, lingering or loiter-
ing over what is to be done, is not to
be recommended. On the contrary,
energy and vigor will prompt the
healthy and industrious man to labor
steadily and rapidly, while neglecting
nothing that is needed to perfect his
work. But this is very different from
the agitated and excited hurry which
has been mentioned, and which is to be
deprecated. philadelphia Ledger.

Fer the snow comes down from our Father,

That is taking care of the daisies,

The feathery flakes in their tracks.
And the golden days. my darling,
The day Of lily and rose,
And the scarlet days of the maple,
All follow the path OF the SHOWS;
For the year goes round, my darling,
With the sunbeam and the shower,
And our Fathers watch is over
Its every passing hour.

When the sleigh bells merry chime
Is echoing DER the roadway,
Is the fun and frolic time.
But the still white eve, my dearest,
Is sweeter TO o and me,
When we Lave the song mi story,
And the prayer at the mothers knee.

And we fear no i'll nor sorrow,
Lovingly sheltered there.
